The AAP on Monday said if Lieutenant Governor V. K. Saxsena was unable to handle Delhi's crime situation, the law and order should be entrusted to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Addressing media persons with regards to Sunday's incident in which a delivery agent was allegedly robbed of Rs 2 lakhs at gunpoint by bike-borne assailants near Pragati Maidan, AAP national spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar said "No place is safe in the capital, whether it is Tihar Jail, University, Court, or Hospital. Kejriwal should be given control of law and order."

Kakkar mentioned that on June 18, four murders took place in the capital, after which the Delhi Chief Minister wrote a letter to the L-G.

"We have already stated that police stations are facing a staff crunch. There is a 35 per cent shortage of staff in each police station. We have requested the revival of Thana committees," she said.

Earlier in the day, Kejriwal also accused the L-G and demanded his resignation.
